In Nixon v. Herndon (1927), the Supreme Court ruled that a Texas law prohibiting African Americans from voting in primary elections was unconstitutional, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The case highlighted the discriminatory practices in the electoral system and challenged the legality of racially exclusive voting laws. Ultimately, the Court's decision reinforced the principle that states cannot impose laws that disenfranchise citizens based on race. This case was a significant step in the broader Civil Rights Movement.
